Then, you can install him sitting or lying down and start massaging his feet or hands to then target the central parts of the body and always with extreme delicacy. Also, you can apply baby oil to take care of the child's skin.

Above all, you should never perform massage techniques that could be considered painful even for adults, such as beating the back with your hands, for example. This seems obvious, but sometimes it is good to remember the obvious.

If you wish to use your massage device on your baby, we strongly recommend that you read the instructions for use to ensure the minimum age for use. If the device has no age contraindication, always make sure to apply the lowest intensity level.

Finally, in baby massage, it is advisable to never touch the sensitive areas of the baby's body and to be very careful with all the gestures made. The baby is a being to be taken care of and protected.
